Gives middle and secondary school teachers the tools they need to support students' comprehension and success in literacy and in content area learning Adolescent literacy, content area literacy,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book was a good read, but it provided even better discussions with other teachers, especially across content areas. If you ever get the chance to hear Doug Fisher talk in person he is even better than the book and worth any admission price. I would buy any other book he writes about literacy or school-wide change.

Practical and down-to-earth

Fisher and Frey provide an excellent array of strategies that have employed in the classroom. The beauty of this book is that it is based on their own classroom experience at the secondary level--not merely one from past experiences, but on-going and current experiences as they continue to work at San Deigo state and their local high school. Their text is much better than the usual text one gets in Secondary Education classes that are based on controlled or purely observational data.
